Which is why the DS had to dumb down cartoons to the point they killed them off right? KEK
I was referring to American cartoons. You couldn't make the same cartoons of the 80s and early 90s because of the increased censorship. Anime wasn't dumbed down which is why people were migrating to it. Haven't followed much past the early 2000s though maybe they got a similar treatment.
>Cartoons themselves are not necessarily dumbed down
Yes they are, it's mind melting drivel. Saturday morning cartoons died because of it. And everything else in your post doesn't have any bearing on my point. Why are even bring up hentai when the topic of conversation had nothing to do with it? There's plenty of Western drawn equivalent products.
